Be vulnerable

I asked the community for their thoughts on hospitality and Vanessa Voth brought this wonderful piece on the vulnerability of hospitality – in receiving it and offering it. I can relate to her story, but I hadn’t considered that my feelings of vulnerability were a factor in how I hosted and how I attended others’ […]

The other month I got out some chalkboard pens. Still sealed in their packaging, they had been sitting in my cupboard for over a year. I opened the package and thought, today is the day I finally use these. I ignored the housework and stood in the hallway writing out a little saying on my […]
